Recovery and Faith
A Bit of a Preface -
Some may consider this to be inappropriate content on an entertainment website. But for millions of people, as well as myself, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, feelings of low self-worth, can be debilitating issues. Therefore, I will take the opportunity to offer a bit of testimony, and what space and platform available to me, to try and help someone else if I can.
It's impossible for me to go out and greet everyone personally, right when they need someone, and lend a hand or a kind word or a prayer. So, this space on my site is one small attempt to show you that someone cares, and there is a way out, and just offer some resources to think about.

Does 1-800-273-8255 still work?
On July 16, 2022 the ten-digit National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number, 1-800-273-TALK (8255), was converted to an easy to remember three-digit number, 988. Even though this change happened to expand service and strengthen access to mental health care to those in need, the original number will remain in service.

Faith
This one can be tricky for some folks. We all grew up differently and have different beliefs. We go through different experiences in life. Most of us who have attended a church regularly have some sort of story about having been to a bad one. We have all seen short clips on the internet that challenge us. And certainly, our faith in people.
That being said, I post these links as sources of comfort or inspiration or learning for anyone who is looking. If you are here, there very well may be a reason.
